Which is crazy.

I was always amazed by Boris Becker, 38-3. Two of these losses were to Casal, one pre big success and one on clay. Watched him beat Wilander and Edberg when still about 17 or 18 in a final which they still lost so a few years later he absolutely obliterated both of them again and won the doubles as well. One of the great efforts ever.

Had to laugh when I saw today's betting list with Tom above Federer

**AndyP** · 11th March 2015 10:01 PM

Is that screenshot going to be printed and framed?

**Ferrins** · 11th March 2015 10:08 PM

Sure is! That was a big win for Tom to beat a guy ranked in the top 10 in Australia.

I like Federer a little bit more now

Who is the biggest *anker? Tomic or Kyrgios. Kyrgios has certainly stepped up his *ankerness lately.

**Lagerlover** · 2nd July 2015 03:20 PM

Kyrgios.Pull him out of tournament.. match fee fines are pointless.

**goughy** · 2nd July 2015 03:23 PM

Tomic by a mile still. Kyrgios had a few years to catch up. Hopefully someone gives him a clip around the ear before too long.

**AndyP** · 2nd July 2015 05:35 PM

Krygios. He is being a wanker all by himself.
It is Tomic's dad responsible for a lot of his "wankerness". If your dad was a wanker, at what age would you dismiss him and go out on your own? It's not an easy thing to do.

There's a lot of anger and ego in tennis.

Tennis is a game of competitive win at all cost. The best players live to beat people and unfortunately (in many cases) that mentality rubs off in their personal life.

As a kid I used to play in the North Eastern Division 1 section in same era as Lleyton Hewitt (no ego - just to paint the picture); I gave away the game largely due to many bad experiences often with 12-13 year old kids. Line calls were the biggest issue and often kids would deliberately 'call outs' in order to win a point. Easier to contest in places like Melbourne where the majority of play is on en tout cas. But much harder to contest on a hard court in S.A. Parents were also a huge contributor & I was once physically threatened by a father. I was told many stories of kids walking home.

Its big money to put your kid prodigy through the painfull task of turning pro - with the stakes that high and a win at all cost mentality you can link the pieces together to draw conclusions on why our up and coming stars behave the way they do.

After Stosur won the first two games of her match i at least thought she could win another game

More fool you

**AndyP** · 4th July 2015 08:17 AM

Uncharacteristic loss from her. Choking is more her style. Her form seemed to be coming good, so I hope this was just a blip.

Kyrgios had another impressive win. I don't know if he could knock off Djokovic, Fed, Murray or Stan in this slam, but he can beat all others.

I saw a stat last night, that said that he has won more matches in grand slams than other tournament and Davis Cup combined for his career. It now stands at 16-12. Big game player.

Tomics tennis Australia blast won't do him any favours moving forward, hope the guy dies a slow death in in his own shit ego.....
The should revoke his passport and send him back to wherever he came from and then he'll realise how good he has it.

**AndyP** · 4th July 2015 10:55 AM

His passport? He is Australian.
